So you will know how to get along here. Fatmans wife Becky sent this too me and I thought it might be usefull.

What's Your "Southern Sign"? Some of us (especially Southerners) are pretty skeptical of horoscopes, and it has become obvious that what we need are "Southern" symbols:

OKRA (Dec 22 - Jan 20)

Although you appear crude, you are actually very slick on the inside. Okras have tremendous influence. An older Okra can look back over his life and see the seeds of his influence everywhere. Stay away from Moon Pies.

CHITLIN (Jan 21 - Feb. 19)

Chitlins come from humble backgrounds. A chitlin, however, can make something of himself if he's motivated and has lots of seasoning. In dealing with Chitlins, be careful. They can erupt like Vesuvius. Chitlins are best with Catfish and Okra.

BOLL WEEVIL (Feb. 20 - Mar 20)

You have an overwhelming curiosity. You're unsatisfied with the surface of things, and you feel the need to bore deep into the interior of everything. Needless to say, you are very intense! and driven as if you had some inner hunger. Nobody in their right mind is going to marry you, so don't worry about it.

MOON PIE (Mar 21 - Apr 20)

You're the type that spends a lot of time on the front porch. It's a cinch to recognize the physical appearance of Moon Pies. Big and round are the key words here. You should marry anybody who you can get remotely interested in the idea. It's not going to be easy. This might be the year to think about aerobics. Or---maybe not.

POSSUM (Apr 21 - May 21)

When confronted with life's difficulties, possums have a marked tendency to withdraw and develop a don't-bother-me-about-it attitude. Sometimes you become so withdrawn, people actually think you're dead. This strategy is
probably not psychologically healthy but seems to work for you. One day, however, it won't work, and you may find your problems actually running you over.

CRAWFISH (May 22 - June 21)

Crawfish is a water sign. If you work in an office, you're always hanging around the water cooler. Crawfish prefer the beach to the mountains, the pool to the golf course, the bathtub to the living room. You tend to be not particularly attractive physically, but you have very, very good
head .

COLLARDS (June 22 - July 23)

Collards have a genius for communication. They love to get in the melting pot" of life and share their essence with the essence of those round them. Collards make good social workers, psychologists and baseball managers. As far as personal life goes, if you are Collards, stay away from Moon Pies. It just won't work. Save yourself a lot of heartache.

CATFISH (July 24 - Aug. 23)

Catfish are traditionalists in matters of the heart, although whiskers may cause problems for loved ones. You catfish are never easy people to understand. You prefer the muddy bottoms to the clear surface of life. Above all else, Catfish should stay away from Moon Pies.

GRITS (Aug. 24 - Sept. 23)

Your highest aim is to be with others like yourself. You like to huddle together with a big crowd of other Grits. You love to travel though, so maybe you should think about joining a club. Where do you like to go? Anywhere there is cheese or gravy or bacon or butter or eggs. If you can
go somewhere where they have all these things, that serves you well.

BOILED PEANUTS (Sept. 24 - Oct. 23)

You have a passionate desire to help your fellow man. Unfortunately, those who know you best---your friends and loved ones---may find that your personality is much too salty, and their criticism will probably affect
you deeply because you are really much softer than you appear. You should go right ahead and marry anybody you want to because in a certain way, yours is a charmed life. On the road of life, you can be sure that people will always pull over and stop for you.

BUTTER BEAN (Oct. 24 - Nov. 22)

Always invite a Butter Bean, because Butter Beans get along well with everybody. You, as a Butter Bean, should be proud. You've grown on the vine of life, and you feel at home no matter what the setting. You can sit next to anybody. However, you, too, shouldn't have anything to do with Moon Pies.

ARMADILLO (Nov. 23 - Dec 21)

You have a tendency to develop a tough exterior, but you are actually quite gentle. A good evening for you? Old friends, a fire, some roots, fruit, worms and insects. You're not concerned with today's fashions and
trends. You're not concerned with anything about today. You're really almost prehistoric in your interests and behavior patterns. You probably want to marry another Armadillo, but Possum is another somewhat kinky,
mating possibility

What exactly IS a Chitlin anyway?

Funny thing is, it says I am a boll weevil, and I am from the city next to the city that has the only monument to a bug in the world, Enterprise, AL. And guess what the monument is of, the Boll Weevil, coincidence, I think not.

Chitlins are the intestines of Pigs. When deep fried they are tasty crunchy things often incorporated into Corn Bread and called Cracklins! When boiled they are slimey and called Chitlins. Often conisdered "Soul Food" either way.

Well its an insect that attacks the "Boll" of a cotton plant. the "Boll" is the seed pod in which the seed is surrounded by "cotton". This weevil (larval stage of the insect) literaly destroyed the cotton industry for a long time in the South. And its attempted erradication with DDT and other Dioxin bearing pesticides almost destroyed many Bird Species including our National Symbol the Bald Eagle as well.

im a crawfish!! yippi!! chitlins are nasty...... all i gotta say bout them......but one prob im not ugly!!!!!! (like i wanna be )
